Snack Time!! Do You Give Your Fish Treats?

[Gumbies R Us]

I have seen on here people giving their fish fruit sometimes, and I always find it neat seeing fish eat something other than normal fish food. So I am wondering if you give your fish treats, what do you normally give them.

Interesting,,, fruit?
The only treats I give my fish are fresh/live clams/mussels from time to time. (Well, live before I pry them open and chop them up, anyway).

I give some of my inverts treats too every so often, even though they don't need it,,, but nothing exotic. (Nori, algae wafers for conch and urchin,,, nassarius snails LOVE Masstick -- gotta get rid of it anyway)

Occasionally I see people give raw fruit such as strawberries or bananas. It's not often I see it, though.

Its hard to give fish treats that already eat better than I do. Kind of an oxymoron when im cutting up a tuna steak and its not for me, while the kraft mac is cooking on the stove....

I hear that I have a second fridge with a full freezer worth of fish food but then my main freezer is empty and only has ice lol

I feel you there. My bamboo shark has had more scallops in her two year life than I have in my 32 year life.....

This. I got to Trader Joes or the ethnic Japanese market for the fish, literally. I barely hit the store for myself, lol.

I go to the asian market once a month and have never eaten one thing ive bought. Literally like 100 dollars every time, just to feed fish. In all actuality that just feeds the fowlr tank, sometimes people dont realize how much these fish can actually eat. Especially once they get some size on them. Hard for some folks to visualize a fish that would inhale an entire mysis cube and not even be phased LOL.

One of my serpent stars will take a whole cube.
